Now having existed for five decades, the Ben Sherman shirt and brand have been adopted by almost every youth culture or style movement of the last 50 years, from the mods to two-tone and ska to Brit pop—and it's still worn today by the bands and style leaders of the current decade.
Ben Sherman remained at the helm of the Ben Sherman shirt brand until the mid 1970s when bad health led him to sell the company and retire to Australia. In 1987, at the age of 62, Ben Sherman died.
Ben Sherman not only created clothing history with his Ben Sherman shirt, but he created a way of thinking that has helped create a global brand today. His passion for original thinking and rejecting the normal and mundane has left a legacy that can still be witnessed today.
The Ben Sherman shirt is an icon and there is simply nothing quite like an original Ben Sherman shirt.
